<br>
<br>Son was surprised and asked: mom, while you were here you never complained, now you have few hours left and you are telling me all this, why?
<br>
<br>Mom replied.....&quot;it&#39;s OK dear, I&#39;ve managed with the heat, hunger &amp; pain, but when your children will send you here, I am afraid you will not be able to manage

<br>
<br>An engineer in a car manufacturing company designs a world class car.
<br>The owner is impressed with the outcome and praised him a lot.
<br>While trying to bring out the car from the manufacturing area to the office they realised that the car is few inches taller than the entrance.
<br>The engineer felt bad that he didn&#39;t notice this one before creating the car.
<br>The owner was wondering how to take it outside of the manufacturing area.
<br>The painter said that they can bring out the car and there will be a few scratches on top of the car that he will do the tinkering later on.
<br>The engineer said that they can break the entrance and after taking the car out, they can cement it.
<br>The owner was not convinced with any ideas and felt like it is a bad sign to break or scratch.
<br>
<br>*The watchman* was watching all the drama and slowly approached the owner.
<br>He wanted to give an idea if they had no problem.
<br>They wondered what this guy would tell them that the experts could not give.
<br>
<br>Watchman said that *The car is only a few inches taller than the entrance so if they release the AIR in the tyre, the height of the car will be adjusted and can be easily taken out.*
<br>
<br>Everyone clapped!!
<br>
<br>*LESSON :*
<br>```Don&#39;t encounter problems from the expert point of view.
<br>There is always a``` *LAYMAN point* ```that will give the best solution in a given point of time...```
<br>••••••• •••••••• •••••••••
<br>
<br>Life issues are also same.
<br>
<br>Many a time a people&quot;s entrance door fall short by few inches, we feel taller!!
<br>Release some air (ego) and adjust the height.
<br>Think simple...
<br>Do simple...
<br>&amp; Live simple.😊😊👍Sumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-16933395227362834302016-08-31T01:09:00.001+05:302016-08-31T01:09:21.179+05:30Time Zone of every Individual!
<br>
<br>
<br>Time Will Come !
<br>
<br>Kenya is 2 hrs ahead of Nigeria, but it does not mean that Nigeria is slow, or that Kenya is fast. Both countries are working based on their own &quot;Time Zone.&quot;
<br>
<br>Some one is still single. Someone got married and &#39;waited&#39; 10 yrs before having a child, there is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.
<br>
<br>Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !
<br>
<br>Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.
<br>
<br>Everyone works based on their &#39;Time Zone&#39;,
<br>
<br>People can have things worked out only according to their pace.
<br>
<br>Work in your &quot;time zone&quot;.
<br>
<br>Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might &quot;seem&quot; to go ahead of you.
<br>
<br>May be some might &quot;seem&quot; behind you.
<br>
<br>Don&#39;t envy them or mock them, it&#39;s their &#39;Time Zone.&#39;
<br>
<br>You are in yours!
<br>
<br>Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good. You&#39;re not late … You are not early ... you&#39;re very much On time !
<br>
<br>stay blessed.

<br>
<br>One afternoon, a Cessna landed at this &quot;secret&quot; base.
<br>
<br>The aircraft was immediately impounded and the pilot was interrogated. The pilot&#39;s story was that - he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was about to run out of fuel.
<br>
<br>The Air Force started a full FBI background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.
<br>
<br>By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn&#39;t a spy.
<br>
<br>They refueled his airplane, threatened him that if he lands again he would spend the rest of his life in prison, and let him go.
<br>
<br>The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force personnel, the same Cessna landed there again.
<br>
<br>Once again, the MP&#39;s surrounded the plane ... only this time there were two people in the plane.
<br>
<br>The same pilot jumped out and said: &quot;Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her ... where the hell I was last night!&quot;

<br>
<br>
<br>*A wealthy woman goes to a saree store and tells the boy at the counter*
<br>
<br>*Bhaiya, show some cheap sarees. It is my son&#39;s marriage and I have to give to my maid.&quot;*
<br>
<br>*After sometime, the maid comes to the saree shop and tells the boy at the counter*
<br>
<br>*Bhaiya, show some expensive sarees. I want to gift my Mistress on her son&#39;s marriage&quot;*
<br>
<br>*Poverty is in the mind or in the purse?*
<br>
<br>*Who is rich ?*
<br>
<br>*Once, a lady with her family was staying in a 3-star hotel for a picnic.*
<br>
<br>*She was the mother of a 6 month old baby.*
<br>
<br>*&quot;Can I get 1 cup of milk?&quot; asked the lady to the 3-star hotel manager.*
<br>
<br>&quot;•*&quot;Yes madam&quot;, he replied, &quot;But it will cost you money.&quot;*
<br>
<br>*&quot;No problem&quot;, said the lady.*
<br>
<br>*While driving back from hotel, the child was hungry again.*
<br>
<br>*They stopped at a road side tea stall and took milk from the tea vendor.*
<br>
<br>*&quot;How much?&quot;*
<br>*she asked the tea vendor*.
<br>
<br>*&quot;Madam, we don&#39;t charge money for kid&#39;s milk&quot;,*
<br>
<br>*the old man said with a smile.*
<br>
<br>*&quot;Let me know if you need more for the journey&quot;*
<br>
<br>*The lady took one more cup and left.*
<br>
<br>*She wondered, &quot;Who&#39;s richer ?*
<br>
<br>*The hotel manager or the old tea vendor ?*
<br>
<br>*Sometimes, in the race for more money, we forget that we are all humans.*
<br>
<br>*Let&#39;s help someone in need, without expecting something in return.*
<br>
<br>*It will make us feel better than what money can.*
<br>
<br>*Coffee never knew that it would taste so nice and sweet, before it met milk and sugar.*
<br>
<br>*We are good as individuals but become better when we meet and blend with the right people.*
<br>
<br>*Stay connected.*
<br>
<br>*&quot;The world is full of nice people... If you can&#39;t find one*

Dentist said 1200 , the Sindhi thought it was too much.
<br>
<br>After some thought, he asked about cheaper methods.
<br>The dentist said Yes, it can be done without anesthesia and will cost only Rs.300, but it would be very very painful.
<br>
<br>Sindhi said ok Dr, do it without anesthesia.
<br>
<br>The dentist removed the tooth without anesthesia and during the entire procedure the Sindhi sat quietly, even smiling a little.
<br>
<br>The dentist was not only surprised but was quite impressed and said
<br>I have never seen such a brave patient like you. I don&#39;t even want my fees, here, instead take this Rs.500 as a reward, you&#39;ve taught me such a powerful lesson today about mastering one&#39;s pain and feelings !!

<br>In the evening he met his fellow dentists and told everyone about his amazing Sindhi patient.

<br>
<br>Once upon a time, there lived a big mango tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the mangoes, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by, The little boy grew, and he no longer played around the tree.
<br>
<br>One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face. &quot;Come and play with me,&quot; the tree asked the boy. &quot;I am no longer a kid, I don&#39;t play around trees anymore.&quot; The boy replied, &quot;I want toys. I need money to buy them.&quot; &quot;Sorry, I don&#39;t have money… but you can pick all my mangoes and sell them so you will have money.&quot; The boy was so excited. He picked all the mangoes on the tree and left happily. The boy didn&#39;t come back. The tree was sad.
<br>
<br>One day, the boy grown into a man returned. The tree was so excited. &quot;Come and play with me,&quot; the tree said. &quot;I don&#39;t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?&quot; &quot;Sorry, I don&#39;t have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house.&quot; So the man cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn&#39;t come back afterward. The tree was again lonely and sad.
<br>
<br>One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. &quot;Come and play with me!&quot; The tree said. &quot;I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?&quot; &quot;Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.&quot; So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and didn&#39;t come back for a long time.
<br>
<br>Finally, the man returned after he had been gone for so many years. &quot;Sorry, my boy, but I don&#39;t have anything for you anymore. No more mangoes to give you.&quot; The tree said. &quot;I don&#39;t have teeth to bite,&quot; the man replied. &quot;No more trunk for you to climb on.&quot; &quot;I am too old for that now,&quot; the man said.
<br>
<br>&quot;I really can&#39;t give you anything, the only thing left is my dying roots,&quot; the tree said with sadness. &quot;I don&#39;t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,&quot; the man replied. &quot;Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come sit down with me and rest.&quot; The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled.
<br>
<br>Moral: The tree in the story represents our parents. When we are young, we love to play with them. When we grow up, we leave them and only come back when we need help. Parents sacrifice their lives for us. Never Forget their sacrifices. Give them Love and Care before its too lateSumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-53673593851958902152016-03-15T12:18:00.001+05:302016-03-15T12:18:23.242+05:30I had spent an hour in the bank with my Uncle, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn&#39;t resist myself &amp; asked...
<br>
<br>&#39;&#39;Uncle, why don&#39;t we activate your internet banking?&#39;&#39;
<br>
<br>&#39;&#39;Why would I do that?&#39;&#39;
<br>He asked...
<br>
<br>&#39;&#39;Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer.
<br>
<br>You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!&#39;&#39;
<br>
<br>I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.
<br>
<br>He asked &#39;&#39;If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?
<br>
<br>&#39;&#39;Yes, yes&#39;&#39;! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!
<br>
<br>His answer left me tongue-tied.
<br>
<br>He said &#39;&#39;Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me very well by now.
<br>
<br>You know I m alone...
<br> this is the company that I need. I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.
<br>
<br> Two years back I got sick, The store owner from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried.
<br>
<br>My wife fell down few days back while on her morning walk. My local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live.
<br>
<br>Would I have that &#39;human&#39; touch if everything became online?
<br>
<br>Why would I want everything delivered to me and force me to interact with just my computer?
<br>
<br>I like to know the person that I&#39;m dealing with and not just the &#39;seller&#39; . It creates bonds. Relationships.
<br>
<br>Does Amazon deliver all this as well?&#39;&#39;&#39;

<br>
<br>
<br>A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, &quot;I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.&quot;
<br>
<br>The man smiled and said, &quot;Come on in with me. I&#39;ll buy you a rose.&quot; He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother&#39;s flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, &quot;Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.&quot; She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave
<br>
<br>The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother&#39;s house.
<br>
<br>Moral: Life is Short. Spend much time as you can loving and caring people who love you. Enjoy each moment with them before it&#39;s too late.

<br>You told me not to drink Mom,
<br>
<br>So I drank soda instead.
<br>
<br>I really felt proud inside Mom,
<br>
<br>The way you said I would.
<br>
<br>
<br>I didn&#39;t drink and drive Mom,
<br>
<br>Even though the others said I should.
<br>
<br>I know I did the right thing Mom,
<br>
<br>I know you are always right.
<br>
<br>
<br>Now the party is finally ending Mom,
<br>
<br>As everyone is driving out of sight.
<br>
<br>As I got into my car, Mom,
<br>
<br>I knew I&#39;d get home in one piece.
<br>
<br>Because of the way you raised me,
<br>
<br>So responsible and sweet.
<br>
<br>I started to drive away Mom,
<br>
<br>But as I pulled out into the road,
<br>
<br>The other car didn&#39;t see me Mom,
<br>
<br>And hit me like a load.
<br>
<br>As I lay there on the pavement Mom,
<br>
<br>I hear the policeman say, &quot;the other guy is drunk,&quot; Mom,
<br>
<br>And now I&#39;m the one who will pay.
<br>
<br>I&#39;m lying here dying, Mom.
<br>
<br>
<br>I wish you&#39;d get here soon.
<br>
<br>How could this happen to me Mom?
<br>
<br>My life just burst like a balloon.
<br>
<br>There is blood all around me Mom,
<br>
<br>And most of it is mine.
<br>
<br>I hear the medic say, Mom,
<br>
<br>I&#39;ll die in a short time.
<br>
<br>I just wanted to tell you Mom,
<br>
<br>I swear I didn&#39;t drink.
<br>
<br>It was the others, Mom.
<br>
<br>The others didn&#39;t think.
<br>
<br>He was probably at the same party as I.
<br>
<br>The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
<br>
<br>Why do people drink, Mom?
<br>
<br>It can ruin your whole life.
<br>
<br>I&#39;m feeling sharp pains now.
<br>
<br>Pains just like a knife.
<br>
<br>The guy who hit me is walking, Mom.
<br>
<br>And I don&#39;t think it&#39;s fair.
<br>
<br>I&#39;m lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
<br>
<br>Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
<br>
<br>Tell Daddy to be brave.
<br>
<br>And when I go to heaven, Mom,
<br>
<br>Put &quot;GOOD BOY &quot; on my grave.
<br>
<br>Someone should have told him, Mom,
<br>
<br>Not to drink and drive.
<br>
<br>If only they had told him, Mom,
<br>
<br>I would still be alive.
<br>
<br>My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
<br>
<br>I&#39;m becoming very scared.
<br>
<br>Please don&#39;t cry for me, Mom.
<br>
<br>When I needed you, you were always there.
<br>
<br>I have one last question, Mom.
<br>
<br>Before I say good bye.
<br>
<br>I didn&#39;t drink and drive,
<br>
<br>&quot;So why am I the one to die?&quot;
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Someone took the effort to write this poem. So please, forward this to as many people as you can. So that it will make people understand not to mix drinking and driving.

He hit a stone and fell down along with the cycle.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>The eggs also fell down and broke. A crowd gathered around the boy.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>As usual free advice started flowing from the on lookers
<br>&quot;Couldn&#39;t you be more careful?&quot;
<br>&quot;What is this, you are cycling , casually without attention?&quot;
<br>.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>An old man approached the crowd , saw what had happened and said
<br>&quot;Poor fellow this boy has to answer the Owner of the shop . Ok I will help him , as much as I can&quot;......
<br>saying this handed over Rs10/- to the boy.
<br>And also said &quot;These onlookers are good people, they will not only give advice, they will help you by giving money also, accept their help&quot;.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>The onlookers observing the sayings of the old man and his actions , gave money to the boy.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>The boy was very
<br>happy, since the money collected was more than the value of the eggs broken.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>One of the onlooker
<br>asked the boy &quot;young man if that old man was not around , I do not know what difficulties you would have faced with your owner&quot;
<br>.
<br>.
<br>.
<br>The boy smiled and replied &quot;Sir ,that old man is the owner of the shop , where I work and he is a Sindhi 😀😂Sumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-67635075190724169172015-08-16T09:14:00.001+05:302015-08-16T09:14:48.229+05:30I recently read the parable of the empty boat. A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation. After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising, and by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation. But when he opens his eyes, he sees it&#39;s an empty boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake. At that moment, the monk achieves self-realization, and understands that the anger is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him. From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, &quot;The other person is merely an empty boat. The anger is within me.&quot;

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
<br>
<br>He asked one man, &quot;Why are you eating grass?&quot;
<br>
<br>&quot;We don&#39;t have any money for food,&quot; the poor man replied. &quot;We have to eat grass.&quot;
<br>
<br>&quot;Well then, you can come with me to my house and I&#39;ll feed you,&quot; the lawyer said.
<br>
<br>&quot;But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.&quot;
<br>
<br>&quot;Bring them along,&quot; the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, &quot;You come with us too.&quot;
<br>
<br>The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, &quot;But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!&quot;
<br>
<br>&quot;Bring them all, as well,&quot; the lawyer answered.
<br>
<br>They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, &quot;Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.&quot;
<br>
<br>The lawyer replied, &quot;Glad to do it. You&#39;ll really love my place... the grass is almost a foot high!&quot;

Few disciples went to the master and told the master that they are all going for a pilgrimage trip. The Master asked them the purpose of this trip and the disciples said it is for &quot; Inner Purification&quot;. The master immediately took out a Karela ( Bitter gourd) and handed over this to them . The disciples asked the master what is that they are supposed to do with the Karela. The master said carry this Karela with you , where ever you go and do Pooja , keep this Karela also in the pooja and do the pooja. The disciples took the karela with them and where ever they went kept the Karela in the pooja and brought it back. After returning back from the trip , they met the master and offered back the Karela to the master. The master asked them to cook that karela and serve the same to him . They cooked the Karela and served the food the master . Master tasted the food and the karela and said it is still bitter. You took this to every temple and came back and it is still bitter. Disciples said it is the nature of the bitter gourd.
<br>The Master smiled and the disciples understood the meaning.
<br>The significance of this story to all of us is that basically if we have to change, our nature has to change . Simply going there , going here is not going to help. It is important that the bottle has to be cleaned from inside. Outside everything can be adjusted or created. The inner nature has to change. The inner shift has to come and that is inner spiritualism and our Attitudes towards life, people , family, friends, community etcSumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-75695489608919944712015-07-14T16:00:00.001+05:302015-07-14T16:00:39.220+05:30This ones by far the best one I have got ever
<br>
<br>A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated him out of $10,000,000. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Guido would hear nothing so he would never have to testify in court. When the Godfather goes to confront Guido about his missing $10 million, he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language.
<br>
<br> The Godfather tells the lawyer, &quot;Ask him where the money is!&quot;
<br>
<br> The lawyer, using sign language, asks Guido, Where&#39;s the money?
<br>
<br> Guido signs back, &quot;I don&#39;t know what you are talking about.&quot;
<br>
<br> The lawyer tells the Godfather, &quot;He says he doesn&#39;t know what you&#39;re talking about.&quot;
<br>
<br> The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Guido&#39;s head and says, &quot;Ask him again or I&#39;ll kill him!&quot;
<br>
<br> The lawyer signs to Guido, &quot;He&#39;ll kill you if you don&#39;t tell him.&quot;
<br>
<br> Guido trembles and signs, &quot;OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin Bruno&#39;s house.&quot;
<br>
<br> The Godfather asks the lawyer, &quot;What did he say?&quot;
<br>
<br> The lawyer replies, &quot;He says you don&#39;t have the guts to pull the trigger!&quot;

Only local train passengers in Mumbai will know how helpful commuters try to be.
<br>
<br>Only last week, a hapless victim fell prey to the over enthusiastic Mumbai&#39;s local train commuters. Our hero, a man from Pune, wanted to go to Matunga, but as misfortune and trains would have it, he boarded a fast train not halting at his destination. He panicked on realizing his mistake but by then the local had already started moving.
<br>
<br>On seeing his plight, a sympathetic co-passenger decided to come to his rescue. It seemed that he had been commuting by that particular train (6:03 pm Kasara Fast) for the past 6 years and had noticed that the train always slowed down just before Matunga station and crawled at a snail&#39;s pace while passing through it. He told the man to jump out of the running train as it slowed down and that with a little bit of fleet-footedness, he would make it safely on terra firma. However, knowing the man&#39;s inexperience, he added some words of caution: &quot;Keep running the moment you jump or you&#39;ll fall. Just keep running.&quot; He stressed the word &quot;running&quot; lest the man not know the laws of motion.
<br>The train did slow down just before Matunga station and at the prompting of his mentor, our hero jumped out of the train and started running as if all hell had broken loose. What he didn&#39;t realise, of course, was that he was running parallel to the train instead of running away from it.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, the train slowed down further, and the man was running faster than the train. In the process, he reached the door of the next compartment and the footboard commuters there pulled him in thinking he was trying to board the train! To his agony, train picked up speed and sped past Matunga and his new co-passengers started to congratulate him on how lucky he had been, until he told them that they had actually undone what he had done with great difficulty.
<br>
<br>Those standing at the door of his &quot;ex-compartment&quot; had witnessed the whole drama and just couldn&#39;t stop laughing at the poor man&#39;s plight, while he grinned sheepishly!!!
<br>

<br>
<br>The guru told the disciple :
<br>Go to the rose garden and come back with the tallest rose plant. One condition is that you should not come back the same path you took while going.
<br>
<br>The disciple went to the garden and came back empty handed. When asked why, the disciple gave his answer:
<br>
<br>As I went in, I saw a tall beautiful tree. But I kept going on for the next tree expecting a better tree. But moving forward, I came across only smaller plants and since I cannot trace the path back, I had to return empty handed.
<br>
<br>The guru said: this is love
<br>
<br>Then he said: now go to the sunflower garden and bring the most beautiful sunflower plant.
<br>Now the additional condition is that once you pluck a sunflower plant, you can&#39;t pluck another.
<br>
<br>Now the disciple goes into the garden and comes back quickly with a plant. The guru asks, is this the most beautiful plant?
<br>
<br>The disciple says: No guru. Based on my previous experience, I did not want to miss and hence I took the first plant which looked beautiful to me. On the way back, I saw more beautiful plants but since I was not allowed to pick another plant, I came back with the plant I had originally picked.
<br>
<br>The guru smiled and said: this is marriage...

<br> Try not to cry!!
<br>
<br>She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: &#39;How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?&#39;
<br>The surgeon said, &#39;I&#39;m sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn&#39;t make it.&#39;
<br>
<br>Sally said, &#39;Why do little children get cancer? Doesn&#39;t God care anymore? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?&#39;
<br>
<br>The surgeon asked, &#39;Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he&#39;s transported to the university.&#39;
<br>
<br>Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. &#39;Would you like a lock of his hair?&#39; the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy&#39;s hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
<br>
<br>The mother said, &#39;It was Jimmy&#39;s idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. &#39;I said no at first, but Jimmy said, &#39; Mom , I won&#39;t be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom &#39; She went on, &#39;My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.&#39;
<br>
<br>Sally walked out of Children&#39;s Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy&#39;s belongings on the seat beside her in the car.
<br>
<br>The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy&#39;s belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son&#39;s room.
<br>
<br>She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
<br>
<br>It was around midnight when Sally awoke.. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:
<br>
<br>&#39;Dear Mom ,
<br>
<br>I know you&#39;re going to miss me; but don&#39;t think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just &#39;cause I&#39;m not around to say &#39;I Love You&#39;. I will always love you, Mom , even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won&#39;t be so lonely, that&#39;s okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn&#39;t like the same things us boys do. You&#39;ll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.
<br>Don&#39;t be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn&#39;t look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God&#39;s knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That&#39;s when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn&#39;t allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him &#39;where was He when I needed him?&#39; &#39;God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
<br>
<br>Oh, by the way, Mom , no one else can see what I&#39;ve written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn&#39;t that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I&#39;m sure the food will be great.
<br>
<br>Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don&#39;t hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I&#39;m glad because I couldn&#39;t stand that pain anymore and God couldn&#39;t stand to see me hurt so much, either. That&#39;s when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?
<br>
<br>Signed with Love from God, Jesus &amp; me..

<br>
<br>Dear Friends, very touching article. Enjoy reading
<br>
<br>Every person those who r far away from their parents for jobs should have to read this heart touching mail!!!
<br>
<br>
<br>ONE BEDROOM FLAT...
<br>WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN ENGINEER...
<br>
<br>A Bitter Reality
<br>
<br>As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it was as if a dream had come true.
<br>
<br>Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about Five years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.
<br>
<br>My father was a government employee and after his retirement, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.
<br>
<br>I wanted to do something more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald&#39;s and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.
<br>
<br>Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting shorter I was forced to select one candidate.
<br>
<br>In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some money to my parents and telling the neighbours to look after them, we returned to USA.
<br>
<br>My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our savings started diminishing.
<br>
<br>After two more years we started to have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.
<br>
<br>Every year I decide to go to India But part work part monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn&#39;t get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rites the society members had done whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed away without seeing their grand children.
<br>
<br>After couple more years passed away, much to my children&#39;s dislike and my wife&#39;s joy we returned to India to settle down. I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my savings were short and the property prices had gone up during all these years. I had to return to the USA...
<br>
<br>My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to stay in India... My 2 children and I returned to USA after promising my wife I would be back for good after two years.
<br>
<br>Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an American and my son was happy living in USA... I decided that had enough and wound-up everything and returned to India... I had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a well-developed locality.
<br>
<br>Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife has also left me and gone to the holy abode.
<br>
<br>Sometimes I wondered was it worth all this?
<br>
<br>My father, even after staying in India,
<br>
<br>Had a house to his name and I too have the same nothing more.
<br>
<br>I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.
<br>
<br>Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these children are losing their values and culture because of it. I get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well at least they remember me.
<br>
<br>Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbours again who will be performing my last rights, God Bless them.
<br>
<br>But the question still remains &#39;was all this worth it?&#39;
<br>
<br>I am still searching for an answer.................!!!
<br>
<br>START THINKING
<br>
<br>IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM???
<br>
<br>LIFE IS BEYOND THIS ..DON&#39;T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ..
<br>
<br>START LIVING IT .
<br>
<br>LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BESumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-61050001223323506572015-02-04T10:19:00.001+05:302015-02-04T10:19:16.930+05:30This about Mr. Zavere Poonawala who is a well-known Parsee industrialist in Pune, India. He had this driver named Ganga Datt with him for the last 30 years on his limousine, which was originally owned by Acharya Rajneesh.
<br>
<br>.
<br>
<br>Ganga Datt passed away recently and at that time Mr. Poonawala was in Mumbai for some important work. As soon as he heard the news, he canceled all his meetings, requested the driver&#39;s family to await him for the cremation and came back to Pune immediately by a helicopter.
<br>
<br>.
<br>
<br>On reaching Pune, he asked the limo to be decorated with flowers as he wished Ganga Datt should be taken in the same car which he himself had driven since the beginning. When Ganga Datt&#39;s family agreed to his wishes, he himself drove Ganga Datt from his home up to the ghat on his last journey.
<br>
<br>.
<br>
<br>When asked about it, Mr. Poonawala replied that Ganga Datt had served him day and night, and he could at least do this being eternally grateful to him. He further added that Ganga Datt rose up from poverty and educated both his children very well. His daughter is a Chartered accountant and that is so commendable.
<br>
<br>.
<br>
<br>His comment in the end, is the essence of a successful life in all aspects:
<br>
<br>&quot;Everybody earns money which is nothing unusual in that, but we should always be grateful to those people who contribute to our success. This is the belief, we have been brought up with, which made me do, what I did&quot;.

He packed his suitcase with two sets of his dress and some packets of cakes! He started his journey, he walked a long distance and found a park! He was feeling tired, so, he decided to sit in the park and take some refreshment! He opened a packet of cake to eat!
<br>He noticed an old woman sitting nearby, sad with hunger, so he offered her a piece of cake!
<br>She gratefully accepted it with a wide look and smiled at him! Her smile was so pretty that the boy longed to see it again! After sometime he offered her another piece of cake! Again, she accepted it and smiled at him! The boy was delighted!
<br>They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but never said a word! While it grew dark, the boy was frightened and he got up to leave but before he had gone more than a few steps, he ran back and gave the woman a hug and she kissed him with her prettiest smile!
<br>Back home, when the boy knocked the door, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face!
<br>She asked him, &quot;What did you do today that makes you look so happy?&quot;
<br>He replied, &quot;I had lunch with God!&quot;
<br>Before his mother could respond, he added, &quot;You know what? She&#39;s got the most beautiful smile I&#39;ve ever seen in my life!&quot;
<br>Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home! Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked, &quot;Mom, what did you do today that made you so happy?&quot;
<br>She replied, &quot;I ate cakes in the park with God!&quot;
<br>Before her son responded, she added, &quot;You know, he&#39;s much younger than I expected!&quot;
<br>Too often we underestimate the power of;
<br>a touch,
<br>a smile,
<br>a kind word,
<br>a listening ear,
<br>an honest compliment,
<br>or
<br>the smallest act of caring,
<br>all of which have the potential to turn a lifen around!
<br>People come into our lives for a reason, for a season or for a lifetime!
<br>Accept all of them equally.Sumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-76689040186250802592014-10-16T07:39:00.001+05:302015-07-07T23:00:26.158+05:30<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Power of Money <br /><br />By Adam Khoo ( Singapore 's youngest millionaire at 26 yrs.) <br /><br />Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand and Suzhou ( China ) . I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books. <br /><br />Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather shocked. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is traveling economy?' My reply was, 'That's why I am a millionaire. ' He still looked pretty confused. <br /><br />This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires'). Many people have been brainwashed to think that millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and sit on first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich because the moment they earn more money, they think that it is only natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one. <br /><br />The truth is that most self-made millionaires are frugal and only spend on what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate and multiply their wealth so much faster. <br /><br />Over the last 7 years, I have saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids, 2 kids, etc. to support). Still, it is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky). <br /><br />I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I happily pay $1,300 to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without thinking twice. <br /><br />When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur's Orgn) a few years back (YEO is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over $1m a year in their own business), I discovered that those who were self-made thought like me. Many of them with net worth well over $5 m, travelled economy class and some even drove Toyotas and Nissans, not Audis, Mercs, BMWs.. <br /><br />I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely lasts past the third generation. <br /><br />Thank God my rich dad foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a cent to start my business. <br /><br />Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying branded clothes, jewellery or sitting first class. Even if buying something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last. <br /><br />Material happiness never lasts, it just gives you a quick fix. After a while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.. <br /><br />Instead, what makes me happy is when I see my children laughing and playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see my companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many more countries. <br /><br />What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life. <br /><br />What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how this blog is inspiring you. This happiness makes me feel really good for a long time, much much more than what a Rolex would do for me. <br /><br />I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from doing your life's work (be it teaching, building homes, designing, trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a by-product. If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a life of meaninglessness</div>Sumit Rochlanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06142842618828751636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079637873637585696.post-70668108213255072962014-10-16T07:33:00.001+05:302014-10-16T07:33:53.647+05:30Yesterday, I was driving, and the FM radio went off for few seconds. I thought, I should have an iPod. Then suddenly I realized that I have not used my iPod😕 in last 6 months. And then, more things, Handy cam📹 in last 2 years, Digital Camera in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and many more.
<br>
<br>Now I can say that I bought that Handy cam📹 just out of impulse, I have used it twice only in last 4 years.
<br>
<br>So, what&#39;s wrong and where ? 
<br>
<br>When I look at myself or my friends, I can see it everywhere... ✅
<br>
<br>We are Not Happy with what we have, but all are stressed and not happy for the things we don&#39;t have😐.
<br>
<br>You have a Santro, but you want City;
<br>
<br>You have a City, but you want Skoda.
<br>
<br>Just after buying a new phone, we need another one.
<br>
<br>Better Laptop,
<br>
<br>Bigger TV,
<br>
<br>Faster Car,
<br>
<br>Bigger House,
<br>
<br>More Money,
<br>
<br>And, I mean... these examples are endless.🚫
<br>
<br>The point is, does it is ACTUALLY WORTH 😐😐
<br>
<br>Do we ever think if we actually need those things before we want them ?
<br>
<br>After this, I was forced to think what I need and what I don&#39;t.
<br>
<br>May be I didn&#39;t need this Handy cam📹 or the iPod or that DVD player.
<br>
<br>When I see my Father back at home, He has a simple BPL colour TV, he doesn&#39;t need 32&quot; Sony LCD wall mount.
<br>He has a cell phone worth Rs 2,500. Whenever I ask him to change the phone, he always says, &quot;It&#39;s a phone; I need this just for calls.&quot;☑
<br>
<br>And, believe me; he is much happier in life than me with those limited resources and simple gadgets
<br>
<br>The very basic reason why he is happy with so little is that he doesn&#39;t want things in life to make it luxurious, but he wants only those things which are making his life easier. ✅✅
<br>
<br>
<br>It&#39;s a Very Fine line between these two, but after looking my father&#39;s life style closely, I got the point.
<br>
<br>He needs a cell phone but not the iPhone. He needs a TV but not the 32&quot; plasma. He needs a car but not an expensive one.
<br>
<br>Initially, I had lot of questions.I am earning good; Still I am not happy...Why? I have all luxuries; still I am stressed.... ......Why? I had a great weekend, still I am feeling tired...... why?
<br>
<br>I met lot of people, I thought over it again and again, I still don&#39;t know if I got the answers, but certainly figured out few things.
<br>
<br>
<br>I realized that one thing which is keeping me stressed is the &quot;Stay Connected&quot; Syndrome..
<br>
<br>I realized that, at home also I am logged in on messengers, checking mails, using social networks, and on the top of that, the windows mobile is not letting me disconnected..
<br>On the weekend itself, trying to avoid unwanted calls 📵... and that is keeping my mind always full of stress.😤
<br>
<br>I realized that I am spending far lesser money than what I earn; even then I am always worried about money and more money.
<br>
<br>I realized that I am saving enough money I would ever need, whenever needed. Still I am stressed about job and salary and spend.
<br>
<br>😐May be, many people will call this approach &quot;not progressive attitude&quot;, but I want my life back. 
<br>
<br>Ultimately, it&#39;s a single life, a day gone is a day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I&#39;ll never be happy tomorrow morning. 😐
<br>
<br>I finally realized that Meeting Friends, Spending Quality Time with your Loved one&#39;s; Spending Time with Yourself is the most important thing
<br>
<br>If, on Sunday, you are alone and you don&#39;t have anybody to talk with, then all that luxuries life, all that money is wasted.. 
<br>
<br>May be, cutting down your requirements, re-calculating your future goal in the light of today&#39;s happiness is a worthwhile thing to do.. 
<br>
<br>May be, selling off your Santro and buying Honda City on EMIs is not a good idea. I believe putting your happiness ahead of money is the choice we need to make
<br>
<br>I think, a lot can be said and done but what we need the most is re-evaluation of the value of happiness and time we are giving to our life and people associated with it 
